What is the fuel consumption per kilometer for the Passat?
1 Answers
The Passat has a total of 10 models currently on sale. Among them, the 2022 280TSI Business Edition and Elite Edition, equipped with a 150 horsepower engine, have a fuel consumption of 0.058L per kilometer. The six models including the 2022 330TSI Premium Edition, Luxury Edition, and Starlight Premium Edition, equipped with a 186 horsepower engine, have a fuel consumption of 0.063L per kilometer. The two models, the 2022 380TSI Flagship Edition and Luxury Edition, equipped with a 220 horsepower engine, have a fuel consumption of 0.067L per kilometer. The fuel tank capacity of the Passat is 68.5L. The distance each model can travel on a full tank of fuel is as follows: Models equipped with a 150 horsepower engine can travel 68.5/0.058=1181km on a full tank. Models equipped with a 186 horsepower engine can travel 68.5/0.063=1087km on a full tank. Models equipped with a 220 horsepower engine can travel 68.5/0.067=1022km on a full tank. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means higher power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Heavier cars also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases car resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperatures: When the engine block is cold, the injected gasoline does not atomize easily, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
